Bruce excited at Butt returnBirmingham City boss Steve Bruce reckons Nicky Butt is finally ready to make his mark St Andrews.
Butt has had a stuttering star to his Blues career after making a loan move from Newcastle in the summer.
Bruce said: "It's horrible what has happened to Nicky, as he started off really, really well and was very comfortable for us,
"However, look at the situation; he gets himself sent off against Portsmouth on September 17.
"He gets back in the team for three games before he suffers double vision against Everton after just six minutes and then has to come off after 30, because he was really disorientated.
"He then missed the game against Newcastle, because of his loan arrangement.
"He is now going to be available for the Bolton game next week, but it will be over two months since that Portsmouth game and he also missed a bit of our pre-season, too.
"You can also add into the equation that, at the back end of last season, he had an injury."
